for what purpose does the gentleman from washington rise? >> to address the house for one minute and revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. >> madam speaker, tonight i'm introducing a resolution to urge the senate to change a filibuster rule. the filibuster has in effect created minority rule. it wasn't the intent of the framers of the constitution to allow any one person the power to bring legislative process to a halt, which is exactly what the filibuster has given each senator the ability to do. the framers very clearly outlined the five instances when they believed a supermajority was needed. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman will suspend. the house will be in order. please take your conversations off the floor. the gentleman may proceed. mr. mcdermott: the day-to-day business of congress was not one of them, but the use of the filibuster has become such common practice that it now requires a supermajority in the senate to pass virtually every piece of legislation, no matter how mundane. the filibu

"the scranton times tribune," very important, i think editorial. there should be little debate on the premise that cleaner air is healthier. and i think that's really what we're saying. the scientists are saying, let's clean up the carbon and have healthier air. "the st. louis post dispatch" has a very, very good -- very good editorial here. and they also come out against this kind of a move by senator murkowski and big oil and big coal, and they feel this vote is a very, very important vote. so in summary, i would just say this: i don't want the american people to misunderstand what is before us in this resolution that will be coming up for a vote at a time determined by senator murkowski, as i understand it, under the rules. she is using the rules to be able to do this. i don't think the american people should be misled into thi
